4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case. Petitioner was not present at the place of occurrence. Only allegation against the petitioner is of having assaulted the son of the informant. No allegation of demanding ransom is levelled against the petitioners. The ransom money has been recovered from the coaccused Ravi Kumar. Petitioners have clean antecedent. On these grounds, petitioners seek to be released on pre-arrest bail.
5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
6. Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, the fact that the petitioner was not present at the place of occurrence. The ransom money has been recovered from the co-accused Ravi Kumar. Petitioners have clean antecedent. I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.
7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-
